• 1 lb elbow macaroni pasta
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups low-fat milk

1. In a large pot or dutch oven, bring salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium low heat, stirring frequently. Stir in flour until mixed in and thickens. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously while doing so. Break up any clumps that form and work them into the sauce.
